It's been a couple days now that Randy has been in hospital.  First night was not very pleasant.  He felt like they did not realized he was there.  Did not sleep and did not get much help with the pain level.  Breaks my heart to hear this.  Randy was not in a good position to realize all he had to do was push the nurse call button.  I think is was the way he was admitted....which was not very organized.  usually when you get admitted you get a wrist band and then you are entered into the system. He did not get it until 11:30 the first night. Night nurse must not have been very good..:(   did not check in on him enough.  Probably thought he's not complaining so leave him be..... If I would have known how awful it was going to be I would have stayed with him all night to be there and speak for him.

We informed the doctor next morning all she can say is sorry.....hospital is not a good place to be.....don't know what happened.....I entered all the medication requirements....

Anyway enough complaining.  What's done is done.  Going forward it has been much better service.  Our day nurse, June, is very nice.  He is attentive, caring and very helpful with Randy.  The second night was better.  We again had a new nurse and he was just as helpful and nice as June.  Randy slept most of the night.

There was X-ray done on Wednesday and it was found out Randy was quite a bit blocked up in his colon.  So the first step is to clear the pipes.  His morphine has been increased by 5 mg to see if that will help.  So far there has not been much improvement.  Just makes Randy very dopey and he sleeps all day. 

Praying they can find a solution to ease his pain.  Still runs between 5 - 8 out of 10.  Randy hopes they can get it down to 3.
